Learn how to properly care for your jewelry to ensure its beauty and longevity.
General Jewelry Care
Storage
Store your jewelry pieces separately to prevent scratching. Use a jewelry box with separate compartments or soft pouches for individual pieces. Keep jewelry away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Cleaning
Clean your jewelry regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, dirt, and tarnish. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap and warm water solution. Gently scrub with a soft brush if necessary, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Chemicals
Remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, or using household cleaners. Chemicals in pools, hot tubs, soaps, lotions, perfumes, and cleaning products can damage metals and gemstones.
Activity
Remove your jewelry before engaging in sports, gardening, or other physical activities that might subject it to impact or abrasion. Put your jewelry on after applying makeup, hairspray, and perfume.
Professional Maintenance
We recommend having your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year. Our experts can check for loose stones, worn prongs, or other issues that might need attention.

Specific Care Instructions
Opal Care
Opals contain water and can crack if they dry out or are exposed to sudden temperature changes. Avoid heat, direct sunlight, and dry conditions. Clean with a soft, damp cloth only. Never use ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, or soak opals in water for extended periods.
Silver Care
Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time. Clean with a silver polishing cloth or silver cleaner specifically designed for jewelry. Store silver jewelry in anti-tarnish bags or with anti-tarnish strips to slow tarnishing.
Gold Care
Gold jewelry can be cleaned with warm water and mild soap. Gently scrub with a soft brush if necessary, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely. For white gold that has been rhodium plated, avoid abrasive materials that can wear away the plating.
Pearl Care
Pearls are delicate and can be damaged by acids, alkaline solutions, and extreme humidity. Wipe pearls with a soft cloth after wearing to remove oils and perspiration. Store pearls separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching. Restring pearl necklaces periodically if worn frequently.
Diamond Care
While diamonds are durable, they can still be chipped by hard impact. Clean diamonds with a solution of warm water and mild dish soap. Use a soft brush to remove dirt from settings, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
